I ended up having to do a clipping mask on all the objects just to remove the 1pixel ghost, very annoying. I’m surprised this hasn’t been fixed by now.

The workaround for this easy I know... when placing into Designer/Publisher I've basically been putting the images into a picture frame that is a slightly smaller in order to crop off this edge... but I shouldn't need to do this. I've been doing this kind of workflow in PS and Ai/ID for years and never had this issue. Is my idea of masking like this wrong? Should I be doing this another way??

I'm currently working on a project and clear cutting a bunch of paper scraps and other objects.... I'm doing this in Affinity Photo by selecting the area and creating a mask, works well but once I place the image onto Designer or Publisher there a ghost around the image about 1 pixel wide its remnants of the original image.

I agree with you and @Lagarto that the behavior of Affinity apps is not optimal, but I'm unsure to call this a bug. There is issue afp-4537 maybe related, where layers larger than the cropped canvas where used in combination with masks (or adjustments with inherent masks), see

The smaller the focus of a convex lens, more its magnifying capacity, so why don't we use magnifying glasses with very small focal length?

This function of masking/clear cutting an image and removing background seams like the most basic use of Photo, it's far from advanced so I'm surprised this issue exists and that no one has commented on it before.

Sadly I gave up on affinity and went back to adobe a couple of years ago. I love 90% of the AF suite but the missing 10% kills it for me, bugs like this one which seam super simple and easy to fix, plus other missing features that are essential to me.

I do feel this is a bug that needs fixing... I'm aware that there's still remaining non-trimmed background around image and that this is essentially what's bleeding through around edge... but isn't this the whole point of masking off an area?

@ra.skill did you ever find a solution to this? I've had to do a lot of collage work this week in Affinity photo and it is incredibly frustrating having to manually remask the boundaries of every layer. I've tended to avoid Photo for this kind of work but I'm searching on here to see if this is user error and I'm too used to how other apps handle this.

Combined, these issues could lead to anti-aliasing and create 1-2 pixel wide line ghosting in from the invisible pixels outside the clipped canvas.
